"The Chad hacker writing 3 games per month" vs "Virgin Programmer building a 10 year old pyramid by himself".

P.S. Once you get comfortable with an engine and have game templates saved you could write even 10-15 games per month, by reusing old games and modifying them as needed.
Heck, you can just market them ad Game X: Modname Y and establish Game X as popular brand in the app store.

Too late, already infected and downloading illegal game rips.

These would be really crappy games. For example,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_52
the cart includes 52 games, yet they are so badly made, that a single proper game is better that all these 52 games combined. So nope, you need good planning, and good team and a good amount of time to implement the design test and fiddle with parameters.

IIRC, N64 Mario's designer spent several months just tuning the physics, controls and animation of the character, so it would feel easy and cool.

Software development was different back then. It was costly, time-consuming, and delays were the norm. Now, with ``agile'' bullshit, deadlines are more important than quality of code. That's why you get games with bugs and patches on day one.

Nope. It is the other way around: using NES sprite hardware is orders of magnitude cheaper and easier than the latest 3d engines, together with numerous software packages required to produce assets. Today just the WinMain function would be larger and more complicated than a NES game.

Also, at the time of NES, there were no repositories and everything was done by a few programmers, working on discrete modules. Today you have 100 member teams, and it is really hard to organize them.

I didn't mean NES, but software development as a whole. The old-school Waterfall model, like Windows 95 and Windows 98, rather than rolling release shit like with Windows 10 now, and shipping buggy code quickly and then just issuing a patch later afterwards.

It was all about code then, now it's about deadlines. Agile and devops.

fifteen years ago you could boot up redhat, nmap localhost, and then roll through and disable every listening network service
Windows has only gotten further away from being able to do this

It actually took them about five years to put little arm CPU's in the CPU so your computer could be insecure again
I wonder if anyone has managed to install redhat on them yet

Don't change these.
